I noticed that Ford uses for almost every other bolt another system, I've seen regular Metric bolts, regular inch bolts, now I come upon torkx bolts, and multi point bolts, and all those varies between internal and external as well! And I thought that my toolkit was well supplied, divers...

    is it nessecary to lower the gearbox?

    Yes Scott, and to make everything even worse, I'm officially out in the sticks over here!!! If I have to order something, it takes at least a (full) week! Not as in Holland, where if you order something from a carpartsplace 5 times a day a small shuttle brings you the piece, nearest small...

    how to go on with my E4OD

    I guess you were lucky, after mine puked, it didn't go nowhere! when I got it home I drained the trans completely, and also the TC, it seemed there was only 9 liters atf left in it from the 19 liters spec'd. so I ordered the seal, and a new filter and fluid, and I'll go see what that brings...

    Thewespaul,what do you use after you flushed the AC system? mine is empty at least 14 years, and normally it's charged with R-12 which we now aren't allowed to use.

    Two days ago I pulled some oil left over in the gearbox, I had to pull ti from the cooler lines, ant they run dry quickly. The oil was a dark red, almost brown without any contaminants in it, the oil has the same color as the oil from the transfer case, so I think that the discolorisation is...
